    Instantly most favorite card of the set. I'm totally NOT biased 😏

    The name is hilarious, the art is magnificent and the effect is just... magic! What is there not to love about this legendary dragon?

    The Whelpagazzor tokens are just adorable too!

    I'm right there with ya :)

    Don't forget that they're Whelps, as well, so this goes hand-in-hand with a certain other Legendary Dragon...

    One of the strongest card I've ever seen. If Druid plays this on curve (aka turn 5) then good luck ever getting on the board. They're now free to do whacky OTK nonsense without punishment.

    Wouldn't be surprised if this goes up to (8) and then (9) within a month.

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    What the hell?!?!?  

    Blizzard: "What if we made a card that did tokens in a class that can ramp mana up really fast?  And here's the kicker what if those tokens had Rush?"

    R&D: "OMG... what if they DID have Rush?"

    This card is just so insane Im not even kidding. Basically if druid plays this early (as early as turn 5) the game is over. With plenty of mana, end game stuff, AND now stabilizers for each spell (just about every druid spell is nature anyway) its not even close.

    I dont like the design choice to be honest. Druid has always been feast or famine courtesy of incredibly poor design choices by team5 starting from AoO but right after Overgrowth rotated I was sure we'd change course. And then we're treated to endless shit like these. Why even bother playing against druid when the class only ever loses because it didn't draw its god cards.

    Okay then. So what has changed for druid this expansion? Precisely nothing. Same strengths same weaknesses. Just play ramp druid, because cards like guff and now this crap practically solos games.

    I guess the question is will Druid be able to throw down enough cheap nature spells to keep the pressure up?

    Wow did they ACTUALLY just do it? They.. they.... Printed a good druid legendary card that ISN'T neutral?!? Okay joking aside, Topior the Shrubbagazzor seems like a VERY strong card in pretty much every druid deck. Token druids might include this because their token summoning spells often are nature spells, Sire Denathrius also appreciates Topior the Shrubbagazzor and it also seems strong in ramp/Celestial Alignment decks so they can take board even faster. This seems very strong.

    RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.

    So I guess it's a great target for Nightshade Bud since you absolutely need to find this ASAP in the deck that uses it. I'm not sure how well the deck will function if you have trouble finding it, so you'll want to have no more than three different minions in the deck. Is that going to wreck it? I think it can be done. I'll give it 4 stars because it's extremely strong but has a lot of moving parts.

    Is it? That would not trigger the Battlecry :( Capture Coldtooth Mine would be a better tutor for sure, with Topior and maybe Sire Denathrius as the two top-ends (with Scale of Onyxia as well, perhaps, but pulling that ain't a bad thing either).

    My bad. Damn, that bud is even worse than I thought.

    The fact that the free Rushers are 3/3s are what pushes it over the edge for me.

    It doesn't even matter if the card is strong or not. Just look at that art, it's adorable!
